Cutting the hair off the tracks to save money?

I'm getting some micros. Normally, when I get them, the hair is close to $120 :-( I'm trying to save some money this time around, so I was thinking about just buying some tracks and cutting the hair off of them to use for braiding. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, did it work out well?

When I got a head full of weave, the hair was $150 and the lady charged me$300 to put it in. Plus tip, close to $500. IF you can't afford it, maybe you should wait until you can??? That was back when I worked fulltime . She only put in the best of hair, so your stylist may not even put "bootlegged" hair in your head, ykwim? just save up a few more weeks so it'll really look good.

I honestly don't think you'd be saving anything. You'd have to buy longer track weave which usually is more expensive and the longer the weave the shorter the track so you would have to buy a lot of track weave. It would end up costing more imo
